    Edit the title of the thread for dennisnelson or email him.

    I don't know what brand his is, nor do I easily find one like his online.

    If you have a hay tine already, is it too light for your cedars? I thought cedars had a small and light rootball.

    ,,,,how big are the cedars????,,,,I use hydraulic shears on mine, The shears are much quicker and you can cut the cedars just below ground level without having to dig or unduly stress the machine. For those that can't be sheared in one clip you can take several 'bites' and accomplish the same thing,,,,,


    Mental note: never buy ANY used equipment from forgemonkey.


    We have a sheer too. We would NEVER think about trying to shear below ground level. That Timberline sheer cost us a pile of money. It is designed to sheer trees, not rocks.

    If you are clearing farm ground, wouldn't it be faster and cheaper to rent a dozer or a mini?

    Ive been pushing out Cedars the last few days as the ground is just wet enough for the trees to come out nice and dry enough as to not tear it up alot. I have used a rotary saw on the Bobcat but i have been using my Bobcat 331 excavator and have been pushing out some as big as 12" at the base,the bigger ones i will have to use the saw or chain saw on.I just wish that Cedar trees were worth something,that way they would not grow on my place.

    I never thought about that single tooth bucket for trenching but,I bet it works great for a 12-18" deep and 6" wide cut..Prob. cut a trench where a 1010 ditchbitch would struggle,too!! Just do a little "Crumbing out" and throw pipe!!
